Love seems a bit more frightening in anticipation

Sometimes overwhelming with a million expectations

When in reality all it wants is total appreciation

It sends all of your emotions to one destination
Hoping your soul is ready for a lifetime of altercations that potentially lead to satisfaction

It pulls you out of your comfort zone
Just to make you it’s own

She had reasons to leave
but never did
Her love was stronger, so she held on longer
He signed her death warrant with every punch to her face and ribs
Breaking her bones,
while building her wall of insecurity
Emotionally and physically abusing her daily
She couldn’t leave as he held her heart hostage
Loving her with rage
Stuck between pleasure and pain
Broken deeply to a point where it all felt the same

If I’ve never told you I adore you
I adore you

If I’ve never told you I need you
I need you now more than ever
Today and forever

If I’ve never told you I appreciate you
I appreciate you, I value you, because I can’t see my life without you

If I’ve never told you how much you mean to me
You mean everything to me
you are my world my heart
and the fuel to my soul

Without you I would fall

Hey lover
Please don’t give me your forever
If you don’t believe in forever
Just give me all of your tomorrows
Love me in pain and in sorrow
Where ever your heart goes Mine will follow
For I am a part of you and you a part of me

I am your shadow and you are my tomorrow

Eventually all wounds heal
Look deep down and see that you will prevail  
find the power to stand still
In the mean time face that fact that

Soulless pits of emotions burn of worthless passion

I love you’s said with no validation
Just words no action
No love, love is a verb not just a word
Confusing your past to your future
Like solving a puzzle with 3 pieces missing
That’s why you can’t see the picture

Please don’t Love me prematurely
Love me when you are ready
Because this love is too broken to be broken again and again and again

I’m addicted to your existence
My love is deeply rooted in your heart
When I die bury me next to your ashes

This way your love could arise and reincarnate
In my soul as my lover who never left me

To live and not have loved is a tragedy
So if you are going to love the best of me
learn to also welcome the worst of me
Because as you fight your insecurities, I fight my dreams to never end

I fight to never wake from this lifelong fantasy

The price of admission to love is craziness

How crazy are you willing to be in order to prove to me that you love me

If not insanity, then please let me be
